00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm and welcome to The Candace Malcolm Show. We're back with another
00:00:04.740 segment with Mario Zaleja. And we have some news to break here on The Candace Malcolm Show. We
00:00:09.040 ask, we usually just report the news, but sometimes we break news as well. So we did
00:00:12.840 a survey here and the results of the survey are in. So a total of 7,700 people participated in
00:00:20.580 this poll. And the question was, do you believe that Pierre Polyev should stay on as leader of
00:00:27.040 the Conservative Party? Well, 6,879 people voted yes. Only 846 people voted no. So 89% approval
00:00:36.680 rating from our poll in the few days after the election for Pierre Polyev. That's a pretty
00:00:41.820 resounding yes. So, you know, for all of the media's talks, I think there was a clip of Rosemary
00:00:46.800 Barton challenging Conservative, former Premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney, saying that she's,
00:00:52.820 a lot of her friends are saying that they want to, a lot of conservative friends that apparently
00:00:57.460 she has say that they want Polyev to step down. I guess she's talking to those 11%.
00:01:02.280 Mario, what do you, what do you make of this?
00:01:05.680 I haven't seen, honestly, I think any major, you know, honestly person really come out and saying
00:01:13.040 he needs to be replaced. Everyone is so happy with him. I think his whole team is happy with him.
00:01:17.840 All I saw was nothing but support from the MPs and the MPs elect that didn't maybe get elected
00:01:25.540 into their riding, but they are all behind Pierre Polyev, including myself. I think he did a
00:01:31.660 phenomenal job. I think he did absolutely great. And we have this uphill battle to fight. And the big
00:01:38.640 uphill battle, the biggest of them all was, you know, Donald Trump and the tariffs. And it wasn't
00:01:44.580 necessarily about the reaction. I truly believe it's more has to do with the fact that it's very
00:01:50.840 similar to what happened in Australia. And, you know, if you dig into Australia, I believe their
00:01:56.900 version of the Liberal Party won a majority and they won in a massive landslide because the person,
00:02:04.740 the opposition, the Conservative Party was talking about, you know, deportation. They're talking about
00:02:09.880 all these other things. And to them, they're like, oh, wow, that sounds very Trump. That sounds a lot
00:02:14.620 like Trump. And we have the tariffs. No, no, no, we can't have that. That's literally what happened
00:02:18.520 in Canada. Except, you know, I think this is the first time in nearly 100 years where two parties got
00:02:24.820 more than 40% of the popular vote. And so that I think that is very, very encouraging. And I think we
00:02:31.440 are all kind of of the mindset and the understanding that in the next election, I think Pierre Polyev
00:02:37.460 was going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada. I completely agree. Like, I think that there's
00:02:41.960 always like, you know, hindsight is 20-20. And so you can always look back and say things in the
00:02:46.580 campaign. Oh, I wish you had done this. I wish you hadn't have said that. But overall, when we're
00:02:49.760 talking about a guy that got 41% of the vote, that'd be enough to win any other election in the last
00:02:53.080 two decades. So it's not like he's done anything majorly wrong. I'm almost hesitant to even
00:02:57.700 criticize him about anything because it's like he massively increases voter share. He engaged young
00:03:02.800 Canadians. He engaged new Canadians. I saw David Coletto was on CTV with Vassie Capellos talking
00:03:08.140 about how second generation, like first and second generation, Canadians were more likely to vote
00:03:13.720 conservative. And that's what helped them in places like the 905. And it was really just like
00:03:18.060 brand new immigrants that were most likely to vote liberal, which is super interesting. I want to tie
00:03:23.840 this into the upcoming by-elections. So we know that Alberta MP, Conservative MP, Damien Couric
00:03:29.500 has announced that he will be resigning from his seat. He just won in Battle River, Crowfoot,
00:03:35.040 which is too bad. He seemed like a great sort of younger millennial conservative that got elected,
00:03:39.360 an up-and-coming guy. Unfortunately, you know, Pierre Paulyev needed a seat. This is one thing that I
00:03:43.640 was critical of him last week, Mario, the fact that he didn't win his own seat. I think that's like
00:03:48.200 for his campaign manager and for the people around him, that's kind of unforgivable, right? It's like
00:03:52.900 if they knew that the demographics were so different with the redrawing of the boundaries,
00:03:57.880 they should have moved their candidate to a safer riding. They should have done that two years ago.
00:04:02.100 And if it was winnable, they should have spent a lot more resources there. Regardless,
00:04:07.460 Pierre Paulyev is set to run in this riding Battle River, Crowfoot. So since Couric is stepping down,
00:04:12.940 there will be a by-election. We're told it's going to happen pretty soon. And I want to just tie this
00:04:17.560 all together because one of the other things that was super critical of, and I know you were too on
00:04:21.660 social media, was this thing called the Longest Ballot Initiative, where they just put hundreds
00:04:26.220 of names on the ballot to try to just confuse Canadians, like to a normal average Canadian
00:04:30.640 who doesn't know much about politics. They show up to vote and there's like a hundred names on the
00:04:34.460 ballot. It's really confusing. Most people don't, you know, politicians' names aren't necessarily
00:04:38.220 household names to people, right? So they might just go, I'm going to vote for the conservative
00:04:41.760 guy. And then you go and you can't remember his name. And it's just like, it's designed
00:04:46.060 to sort of harm, I know this sounds bad, but like, it's designed to harm kind of like low
00:04:50.680 information voters or like low intelligence Canadians or like new Canadians that might not
00:04:55.480 speak English or understand the democratic process. Like it's designed to kind of pick
00:04:59.220 off the weakest ones. And the fact that it's able to continue is so outrageous. So these people have
00:05:04.820 announced that they are looking to do it again. In an email to their supporters, the longest ballot
00:05:09.380 committee, so that it was hoping to add over 200 names to Pierre Paulyev's by-election
00:05:13.440 ballot in Battle River, Crowfoot. And again, like, I just, I don't understand why this is
00:05:19.860 possible. I know you've been critical of it as well. So what's your take on all this?
00:05:24.660 I think it's a mockery of our system. It's literally the biggest slap in the face to all
00:05:30.880 Canadians that they can do this and that they're allowing this to happen. And they know that the
00:05:35.460 intent is zero intent of actually getting election, of these people actually getting elected. It is,
00:05:41.540 it is election interference and that there's no question about it. And, you know, someone sent me
00:05:48.280 a message privately and they said, Mario, I think there's a way to potentially stop this.
00:05:53.800 We could, we could sue them and you could sue them because there's going to be people who are
00:05:58.800 actually blind. And I guarantee if you show up at, you know, certain writings, are they going to
00:06:03.480 have all of these done in Braille? And he's like, I think not. And so that that's creating a
00:06:08.540 problem, not only for people who are blind, but also the elderly who maybe can't see.
00:06:12.860 And so that they were basically discussing, you know, uh, conducting litigation against the group
00:06:18.520 and against, against Elections Canada on how this could basically be discriminatory against those
00:06:25.580 at risk groups. And I think the logic behind it is sound. Um, I reached out to, to an attorney,
00:06:32.680 that's a constitutional one to, uh, to get their two cents on it. Like, is there some validity in
00:06:38.360 this? And I, you know, I, I did a quick poll yesterday. I haven't had a chance to look at the
00:06:43.060 results, but I think it's going to be a resounding, like 90% people are going to be in on it, but some
00:06:49.460 of the initial comments and the polling was, should we do a GoFundMe, file a lawsuit? And the
00:06:56.080 overwhelming answer is yes. People want it. People want to fund it. And, and I said, you know,
00:07:00.660 I'll start it off with a couple of grand, uh, I will throw in a few grand and let's get this
00:07:04.760 thing going and actually file a lawsuit because this madness needs to end and there needs to be,
00:07:09.600 uh, repercussions for these types of, uh, actions. And these actions are nefarious in nature and
00:07:16.160 completely done with ill intent. And they even came out and said, we, we declare victory.
00:07:23.620 Like what we did in, in, in Carlton, we, we, we, we, we, we, we feel, you know, victorious.
00:07:29.980 And they actually took credit for it. And then, so here they are saying, sending out an email saying,
00:07:34.780 Hey, we want 200 people now. And my whole thing is like, okay, cool. You do this. I'm going to get
00:07:39.920 a thousand for Nepean. And then at what point does it end? And I can, I can guarantee, I can rally
00:07:46.980 enough people, enough volunteers in Nepean and throughout Canada to make it happen where we do
00:07:52.340 it to Mark Carney. And then we are going to, and then I'm going to look like the bad guy, but it's,
00:07:56.400 it's going to be completely hypocritical. If they do 200, I'm going to aim for a thousand.
00:08:00.120 I mean, that's, that's the thing about the left is that they know that, you know,
00:08:03.040 we could do that, but we won't because we respect the rules too much. And I, I'm for like a lawsuit
00:08:07.480 against them. I, I just, to, to me, I looked up the rules and basically in order to get on the ballot,
00:08:12.480 you have to have 100 signatures. Right. And so it seems to me a pretty straightforward change
00:08:17.300 elections Canada could make. I read on Twitter, someone, a whistleblower also saying
00:08:20.820 that elections Canada was warned about this well in advance. They could have changed the rules
00:08:25.480 in time. Same with the by-election, right? I mean, the by-election could happen any,
00:08:28.840 it could be announced in the next two weeks. So maybe they don't have time to change the rules,
00:08:32.300 but why not just make it 100 unique signatures, right? Like once someone signs for one person,
00:08:37.900 because basically the idea is, I think they probably have about a hundred people that are
00:08:40.840 part of this group. And so they all sign each other's and they use their names recycled over and
00:08:45.280 over and over again. And so if it was just, once you sign one person's nomination paper,
00:08:49.400 you cannot sign another person's, then that would stop this because they just won't be able to get
00:08:53.740 enough people, maybe in a place like Ottawa, but certainly not out in Alberta. Another idea is
00:08:58.340 if you can have a hundred people to sign your nomination papers to get on the ballot,
00:09:02.500 you have to have at least 100 votes, right? When you go through the candidates in Carleton,
00:09:08.040 most of them got fewer than a hundred votes, which makes you think, how can you get a hundred signatures
00:09:13.060 to vouch for you to be on the ballot, but you can't even muster up a hundred votes. If they don't get
00:09:18.440 a hundred, they should get fined. Slap them with a huge fine because that is election interference.
00:09:22.660 It's manipulation. It's mischief. If they were faced with a potential $5,000 fine, Mario,
00:09:27.580 I guarantee this would stop. Like they wouldn't do it. And you can go back and look. And I think
00:09:31.740 there was at least 20, maybe 30 people who got fewer than that 100. If all those people were
00:09:36.640 slapped with a $5,000 fine, this would never happen again. So there are things like legal mechanisms
00:09:41.540 that could very easily be taken, but the fact that they don't, it just, I totally agree. It makes
00:09:45.840 Canada seem like a joke. Like our elections are not secure and it really undermines public trust,
00:09:50.520 like in, in the entire integrity of the election. And I just wanted to add one thing too. I don't
00:09:56.460 know if people realize this, but all the candidates had one registered agent. They were all registered
00:10:02.220 by one person and, and it was the same person. And so, I don't know, why don't you place a limit
00:10:07.980 of two, five? Why, why 90? Why 50 even? Why 25? Like you don't need to have one person register,
00:10:17.360 like create some sort of, uh, uh, boundaries in place where people can actually respect it.
00:10:22.980 And I think money is always a great deterrent. Money is always a great deterrent. Like maybe,
00:10:27.820 you know, if you do, if you register more than one, then that, that the amount that you then have
00:10:33.000 to pay for a subsequent one goes up to $5,000. Then if you go past 10, maybe it's 10,000, maybe
00:10:38.460 it's 20,000 per. And so there needs to be some sort of like scale system or, uh, whatever the
00:10:44.300 mechanisms are, it's an easy way to resolve the solutions. And especially if they knew about it
00:10:50.320 for quite some time, I just find the whole thing ridiculous. Yeah. It's interesting. Like there's
00:10:54.320 certain things in Canada that you can tell our political system is built upon trust. Like we, we,
00:10:59.060 there, there's great deal of like honor and trust built into our system. And you can just see that
00:11:03.700 in 2025, like you can't really go by that anymore. There are so many discernible people. There are so
00:11:07.440 many scoundrels out there that just don't uphold that value in public office and in our elections
00:11:12.740 that you actually need more rules and more laws. You know, we're talking about how Pierre Polyev has
00:11:18.400 resounding support of his party, about how 89%, according to our Joe News poll, believe that he should
00:11:24.060 stay on as leader. There are a few things that we were critical. I did a show last week with Wyatt Claypool
00:11:28.840 where we just kind of, you know, suddenly again, the guy got 41.5% of the vote. He did really well.
00:11:34.680 A couple of things that we wish he would have done differently and some sort of free advice for
00:11:38.080 the future. Uh, one of the things we did talk about was his refusal to go on some of these big
00:11:42.840 American podcasts. I'm not one that believes that he should have gone on every single one,
00:11:46.900 but I do think that Joe Rogan might be an exception. Joe Rogan sort of pushes through the political
00:11:51.500 world and into the cultural space. And he's just such a, like, he's such a force. It's such a big show.
00:11:58.320 He's such a well-known commodity. Like, he has been doing this for over a decade now.
00:12:03.160 And I just, so Joe Rogan, speaking of the Joe Rogan experience yesterday, he revealed that he did
00:12:08.640 invite Pierre Polyev on his show and he declined. I don't know if it was Polyev himself or his campaign
00:12:15.860 team and his advisors. I just want to play this quick clip and then I'll get your reaction, Mario.
00:12:20.160 I offered to have that Pierre guy come on the podcast. Really? He didn't do it. Wouldn't do it.
00:12:25.480 Thought it was too problematic or whatever. Jordan told me, I forget what he said, but they, they were
00:12:30.540 telling him not to do it. Like his advisors were telling him not to do it. So I, I think maybe, look,
00:12:35.680 I would have liked to see Pierre go on Joe Rogan like six months ago or three months ago, kind of
00:12:39.860 capitalize on his popularity. I can see how, like in the final week of the campaign, you might want to,
00:12:44.840 not want to do it just because you want to be seen as being in Canada. But to me, again, Joe Rogan is
00:12:50.320 like, that's where you're going to find the sort of like young men, young Canadian men and women,
00:12:55.920 like so many more people watch Joe Rogan than like any other show combined. And if Pierre could
00:13:01.160 have gone on there and been relaxed and been laid back and shown the other side of himself that we've
00:13:07.060 seen, but that wasn't breaking through to the legacy media, I think it could have helped him. What do you
00:13:11.760 think? I think it's a timing issue. I think, I think you're right. If he did it six months ago,
00:13:17.180 it would have gone over well. If he did it three months ago or even two months ago, or even a month
00:13:22.640 ago during the election or when we knew the election was happening and Trump implemented the
00:13:27.400 tariffs, I think the liberals would have had a majority. I think mainstream media would have
00:13:31.460 weaponized it to the nth degree. They would have used this on ads. There's so many hate and
00:13:37.240 misinformation ads that happened from illegal actors that weren't registered as third parties
00:13:42.240 with Elections Canada. Most people don't realize is that you can actually run hate ads and, you know,
00:13:47.160 basically what I think are misinformation ads against the public, you can, but I think it would
00:13:51.980 have happened to such a great deal where they will say, look, the same guy that endorsed Donald
00:13:56.580 Trump is now endorsing Pierre Polyev and Pierre Polyev was on a US podcast. I think anything,
00:14:01.320 I think the overall sentiment in Canada is anything that relays or anything that promotes or even
00:14:08.960 supports the US in any way, shape or form is bad. Even, I think, even in the, I would say,
00:14:14.720 midline conservatives or people who are in the middle, maybe not far left, not far right. Well,
00:14:19.200 I mean, obviously the far left is going to attack it, but I think it would have done a lot of damage
00:14:23.560 if he did that. And I've always been a believer that there's a lot more damage that would have been
00:14:29.720 and a perfect example is I went on vacation to Florida. I got ripped to pieces for being in
00:14:35.280 Florida. Like, how dare I go to Florida? And the amount of commentary, like, you know, I'm a
00:14:40.960 conservative, I'm a supporter, how dare you? And it was just the end of the world for me to be there.
00:14:45.600 So for Pierre Polyev to be on the Joe Rogan podcast, I honestly think it would have been a
00:14:50.780 disaster. And again, it just ties into this whole hysteria against, you know, anything America,
00:14:58.000 anything US, anything Trump, anything that is remotely tied to Trump, which, you know,
00:15:04.100 by and large is going to include Joe Rogan. And I think I remember seeing ads being like, oh, look,
00:15:09.960 Joe Rogan and Elon Musk endorsed Pierre Polyev, you know, this is so bad. He's just like Trump.
00:15:15.360 And that's literally the narrative that happens, which affects the audience that comes out in mass
00:15:23.260 numbers, which are the 55 and plus, which predominantly voted liberal. I think it would
00:15:29.220 have been much, much worse. It kind of shows that we still have our work cut out for us here in
00:15:34.400 Canada, right? It's like, I felt good about the election. I felt like independent media and
00:15:38.400 independent journalists across social media really grew, really expanded. We did have an influence.
00:15:43.900 I read the stats on the show yesterday. Our videos got viewed 14.22 million times.
00:15:48.320 Our website got visited over 9 million times. Like we, we broke 413 stories during the campaign.
00:15:53.600 Like we were pushing the media. We were having influence, but I think you're right. Like the
00:15:58.080 idea behind going on to Rogan is that you push past the commentary and you just go meet the people
00:16:03.400 where they are and go talk directly to them. But even if the, even if the podcast got viewed like
00:16:09.260 10 million times, right? How many times would those clips get viewed on CBC to the key swing voters in
00:16:15.680 the handful of writings in Ontario that determined the election and how many of those people would
00:16:20.640 have been scared? Like it only takes a few hundred or maybe a thousand, you know, middle-aged voters
00:16:25.200 to be like, Oh no, he, he really is like Trump. Oh, look, he's, he's going on the same podcast as Trump
00:16:31.000 did. And this is like an American right-wing thing that you're right, that I do think it could have
00:16:36.400 gone badly. I would like to say that I would have liked to see him on and maybe, maybe in the next
00:16:40.960 election cycle when the CBC has less influence or in the future, I'm so optimistic that we're,
00:16:45.280 we're gaining ground. Okay. I want to switch it back to Mark Carney because it's not just about
00:16:49.440 Polyev. Mark Carney has some really questionable associates. This stuff didn't really come up
00:16:54.000 during the campaign. I mean, I know it did a little bit in the independent side and Ezra Levant from
00:16:58.320 the Rebel News was running, um, for Canada. And they were really pushing this idea that like,
00:17:02.480 why is Mark Carney getting away with his friendship with Gillian Maxwell? You know,
00:17:07.360 she's a convicted sex criminal and child trafficker, basically who worked very closely with predator
00:17:14.080 Jeffrey Epstein. Um, also news came out that, uh, Mark Carney had, uh, also a questionable friendship
00:17:20.960 with Prince Andrew. He now faces questions over this dinner that he had with Prince Andrew. He was
00:17:27.280 hosted at Buckingham Palace while he was the governor of the Bank of England. Likewise, Mike Myers,
00:17:33.360 right? Mike Myers was a pretty predominant part of the beginning of the campaign, the campaign
00:17:36.640 launch for Mark Carney, this idea that this American celebrity that's sort of known as being Mr.
00:17:41.600 Canada, Mike Myers, uh, sort of beloved by the boomer crowd, I guess. Um, you know, not,
00:17:46.480 not the boomers that are watching my show, but like the liberal boomers, I guess. Uh, well,
00:17:50.640 this story came out, it was kind of shocking that Mike Myers may be the first celebrity named in the
00:17:56.640 Diddy trial. Um, another accused, you know, uh, sex criminal, um, again, with minors. Like,
00:18:04.800 it seems like there's a lot of really kind of shocking and very, very, uh, I would say creepy,
00:18:13.200 uh, people who live in these high circles, these high society circles, whether it be Hollywood or I
00:18:19.120 guess, you know, financial, high financial circles in New York and London or, you know,
00:18:23.600 the Royals in London. It seems like Mark Carney is a part of a lot of these circles and there's a lot
00:18:28.800 of people being exposed for just absolutely predatory behavior, including with children.
00:18:33.120 Um, the fact that Mike Myers is named in the Diddy trial is really concerning to me. And then the fact
00:18:38.080 that just recently Carney chose to associate with him, I don't know if he knew that this was coming,
00:18:43.040 but it really, again, you know, the legacy media has no interest in this stuff. They'll never cover
00:18:48.400 this stuff, but I think Canadians are rightly like a little bit disturbed by it. What do you think?
00:18:53.280 Yeah. I mean, I, it's interesting because when you bring up the Maxwell Epstein situation,
00:19:01.120 mainstream media would not touch it. They would not touch it. They would not talk about it. I think
00:19:05.680 he was maybe asked about it once. Actually, I don't even think he was, I don't have a memory of him
00:19:11.840 directly being asked about this or the story even running. It was almost like this was like AI or some
00:19:16.640 sort of conspiracy theories. The only people that were talking about it were independent media and people
00:19:21.600 like myself. And obviously it was very concerning because I mean, if I could guess the views just
00:19:26.720 on that topic alone, it had to have been over 50 to a hundred million views at minimum. Um, and there
00:19:32.160 still is concern because people are still bringing it up and he still has not addressed it head on.
00:19:36.560 Um, for the Buckingham palace, that one's actually concerned. It's more, I believe it was more than one
00:19:42.400 dinner. I, from my understanding is, um, there was multiple dinners that were had that, um, Prince
00:19:48.720 Andrew would host and he would host, uh, people like Mark, Mark Carney. And I think other, you know,
00:19:54.240 bankers are influential, but I thought it was several dozen, like it was quite a bit. And he,
00:19:59.600 he said that they were actually parties. And so those are things that, you know, obviously are
00:20:04.640 concerned because we don't know what it was, right? It could have been this kind of big boys club that
00:20:10.880 who knows what they're doing at any given point in time, but there are these odd connections.
00:20:15.440 The Mike Myers, I don't know much details about it other than I think they asked the jurors,
00:20:20.400 like, you know, do you know who Mike Myers is? And obviously, you know, he was one of the biggest
00:20:25.040 endorses, endorsers of, uh, Mark Carney during the election. And so I think these are all very real
00:20:31.120 and valid questions that people have that I think it would just be so simple to just address head on.
00:20:35.600 And I, I don't understand why media needs to shy away from it. It's not a conspiracy theory.
00:20:39.840 No, this is a daily, the Daily Mail, which is one of the biggest UK newspapers. I read the headline right
00:20:44.160 here. Mike Myers and Michael B. Jordan are the first celebrities named in Diddy trial. The first
00:20:49.040 two celebrities to be named in the Diddy trial were Mike Myers, Jordan, and Michael B. Jordan.
00:20:53.600 Their names were read out to a potential juror, jury from a list of people and places that may come
00:20:59.600 up throughout the trial. So that's a fact. Those were the first names, the first people named.
00:21:03.600 So like, I don't know. I don't, maybe there's no smoking gun. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe he's on
00:21:08.160 trial for some other reason. I'm just saying that like, there's no curiosity in the legacy media,
00:21:12.720 right? Like we can now link Mark Carney and prime minister to some of the biggest sex trafficking
00:21:20.320 and child abuse stories of our time, of our lifetime, of the century, right? Whether it's, uh, Jeffrey
00:21:26.320 Epstein, whether it's Diddy, even the story that we broke earlier campaign, Mario on the Tavistock clinic,
00:21:32.800 notorious for abusing children. And Mark Carney's daughter went there for therapy, right? So,
00:21:38.160 like we have him linked to these incredibly nefarious world events. And the media is like,
00:21:44.080 not only are they just totally disinterested in it, they actually actively play defense for the
00:21:48.880 prime minister, coming after people like me, coming after people like you for daring to even,
00:21:53.520 for even noticing this stuff. I mean, it's, it's almost a tired game to play, but like,
00:21:58.160 could you imagine if Pierre Polyev was linked to any of this stuff or linked to any kind of known
00:22:04.320 child predator, it would be an unrelenting news story that would destroy his career.
00:22:09.520 We know that because it's happened before, right? But when it's Mark Carney, this like liberal,
00:22:15.040 they just, they, they, they will not allow anyone to talk about it.
00:22:18.400 I agree. I think it's, it's deeply concerning. And I think this is just the,
00:22:23.440 what I keep saying is the hypocrisy of mainstream media. And I've been very, very vocal in my disdain for
00:22:29.600 them. I actually, I've been asked by, you know, CBC to do an interview. I just ignore it. I don't
00:22:34.480 do interviews with them anymore. Um, because what they'll do is they'll take portions of what I say.
00:22:39.520 I could say, you know, Mark Carney's, you know, uh, uh, great and international policy,
00:22:45.360 and then they'll stop it there. See, you know, the, the biggest, you know, the, the biggest, uh, uh,
00:22:50.240 you know, uh, credit the, the person with the most criticism against Mark Carney's promoting him now,
00:22:55.680 see, he's the greatest. And that's literally what they will publish,
00:22:58.640 but they won't publish the other half that says his domestic policy is awful.
00:23:02.400 Our problems are all domestic. It's not international right now. It's Trump.
00:23:06.240 That's a temporary measure of a four year term, but a big problem, like I can elaborate so much
00:23:10.720 more, but they will cut off every other piece. And, and that, that has always been my consistent
00:23:16.640 experience with mainstream media. And I always tell people that you have to take everything with a
00:23:21.520 grain of salt because there's always more to the story. And I find that there's this new wave of,
00:23:26.480 you know, citizen journalism, um, independent media that is taking such a stronghold. And I think
00:23:32.480 it's for the exact same reason why, and I think you and I briefly discussed it, you know, uh, offline,
00:23:37.680 but you know, why Fox news is now significantly bigger in viewership than CNN or NBC. People have
00:23:44.800 completely lost trust in what they say. And when you give people so much propaganda, especially when it
00:23:50.720 is state sponsored propaganda and they are getting billions of dollars and Mark Carney saying,
00:23:55.600 we're going to give them more money because we need to fight disinformation. Like what it is the
00:24:00.960 most unbelievable thing in the world. Like the CBC people don't realize that CBC's funding,
00:24:05.200 I think is more than two X of CSIS. Imagine, imagine just hypothetically speaking that Fox news
00:24:12.560 got twice the budget that the CIA gets. That would make international headlines. Like,
00:24:17.840 like what on earth are we doing? We're not, we're not a serious country at this point and no one would
00:24:22.720 respect America. We care more about pushing propaganda and brainwashing Canadians than we
00:24:27.280 do about the actual physical safety of Canadians and ensuring that there aren't like foreign actors
00:24:31.840 interfering in our country. Wow. That, I mean, that, that really spells it out better than just about
00:24:36.400 anything else. All right, Mario, thanks for your time. We really appreciate, uh, you coming on the
00:24:40.320 podcast and we hope to see you again soon. For sure. Thank you so much, Candice. All right,
